Michigan State's Dantonio To Return Saturday vs. Badgers

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Michigan State's Mark Dantonio plans to be in a coaching box above the field Saturday when the No. 24 Spartans face No. 11 Wisconsin, just two weeks after he was hospitalized after a mild heart attack.

Dantonio showed up at the team's weekly news conference Tuesday and said he will ease back into his job. Offensive coordinator Don Treadwell took over for one game, Michigan State's 45-7 win over Northern Colorado on Saturday.

Dantonio was taken to the hospital early Sept. 19, shortly after his team beat Notre Dame in overtime.
